Sweetly Scented Candle
What is it about food that attracts cockroaches?
I really want to burn sweetly scented candles and oils in my apartment to make it smell nice. However, we are having a slight roach problem (partially due to being on the first floor of the building), and I was wondering what charecteristic of food attracts cockroaches. For example, would the sweet scent of my candles lead the cockroaches to believe that there is food (i.e. sweets) where I am really burning the candles/oils. We have put traps out, and are planning on putting out tablets, but I would really like the reassurance that my using candles will not attract more roaches. Thanks!
Roaches actually pick up smell traces with their antennae. They can distinguish between similar smelling things to pick out what they are searching for as easily as we distinguish between pennies and quarters. The candles wont invite them. Otherwise, citrus fruit has been used to offend roaches and make them steer clear.
One treatment that works extremely well on almost any infestation of roaches, is Boric Acid. It comes labled under many different names as roach treatment (frequently is called Roach-Proof), but is always a powder, and is blue or white in color.
